Give me something to watch on Netflix

Didn't find it much worse than John Wick, just with a female lead and Japanese replacing the Russian.

Yeah, that's the problem. They took bits of Nikita, John Wick, Taken, Atomic Blond, Hanna, and about a million other movies, and threw them at a wall. Nothing stuck. Not a single original thought in the whole production.

Welcome to post 90's Hollywood I guess. I posted my thoughts on it about 20 minutes into the film. I liked it a bit less towards the end, but it was still better than total crap. It was a mindless action film, and she fit the role well. If someone's lookin for Citizen Kane they should scroll past.

Much better than 6 Underground, which I watched yesterday. IMO
 
Count Me In was OK. It sorta didn't reallly go anywhere though. It's always a treat to see Stephen Perkins. The guy is just so happy. The drummer from Hole/Motley Cru was fucking obnoxious and should have been left on the cutting room floor.
 
Watched Level 16 on Netflix last night. Started OK, but it took too long to get where it was going, the reveal wasn't powerful enough, and the ending was anticlimactic.

I just thought that it coukd have been a 6 part (or more) series. I wasn't terribly put off by the Hole drummer...I just thought that she was putting on an act instead of being herself.
 
This was surprisingly good, both seasons, although the directors could use some direction on making gun fights that look more realistic. Anyway, the acting is really good, and it does a really good job of focusing on the characters and what the stresses of the apocalypse do to them, rather than the much more boring 'oh noes, zombies' thing that kills so much of this genre's content.

There was a bit of an annoying time jump between season 1 and 2, and it wasn't really clear how the main characters from season 1 made it to season 2. Anyway, still a nice, fun watch.

I like the show, but one of the best things about it is how the infected behave almost exactly like the Virals in one of my favorite games of all time, Dying Light. I've logged over 1000 hours in the undead-overrun Turkish city of Harran, and Black Summer feels quite familiar.

 


Britannia has been impressing me quite a bit. Good dialog, amazing characters, interesting setting, there's some odd tension going on between magic and "real" that's used brilliantly, especially in the 2nd season, yet they are confident enough in their story to never explain exactly what's going on, which for me works surprisingly well.

We get it on HBO Nordic, no idea where it's on in the US.

In the US it's on Amazon Prime and Epix.

The third season I think is Epix-only but for some reason won't show up until next month. Despite already being available for some time in the UK.

Third season is pretty meh anyway. It's still entertaining if you are invested in the show, but it kinda misses the quality of the first two. New characters aren't nearly as interesting and the intrigues going on are a bit too predictable.

(also, the intro song is significantly worse :embarrassed: )
